Evanly Choirs, by Rhys Bowen

Ah-ha! Well, these are a *lot* like the Hamish Macbeth mysteries, but set in North Wales instead of Scotland, in an imaginary town called Llanfair*, which seems to be in between Conwy and Caernarfon, and Constable Evans keeps going to Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Prestatyn, and so on, which is wonderful beyond all reason.

This one was set around an Eisteddfod at Harlech.

Lovely.

PS. I pay absolutley no attention to the plots of these, so I haven't got a clue if it's a good mystery.

What is this?

This is a log of what books I've been reading and movies I've been watching.Comments are welcome!

One explanation seems necessary - the phrase "Life-Changing Fiction" is not in any way an endorsement of those books- in fact, I think those books are Awful, and want that to be clear. "Life-Changing Fiction", as a phrase, has been trademarked, absurdly, by the "Christian fiction" writer Karen Kingsbury, and that is Just Not Right.Aside from being ridiculous, it just sheds light on the hypocrisy of the writer.What would Jesus copyright?
